The school portfolio breaks down into 4 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 916 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Wapello County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,801 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 51.2% local, 37.5% state, and 11.3% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $82,257 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 47/100, ranked #174 of 303 in Iowa against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 352.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 25.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 92.3% White, 4.6% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% African American across the district's schools.

Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Jr/Sr High accounts for 47.1% of all Eddyville-Blakesburg- Fremont CSD student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Eddyville-Blakesburg- Fremont CSD-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
